"Come on, let's try the Chinese rifles and artillery."

After skipping the ammunition problem, everyone's attention was once again focused on the Han-style rifle and Chen Qi's cannon.

The two of them were ready and led their group to the school grounds.

"Master, let me go in the future." Niu Ben licked his lips and was a little excited. His comments just now did not mean that he did not like the Chinese rifle.

In fact, these generals in the military like new weapons the most, but sometimes they have to consider increasing military spending.

Luo Quan picked up another Chinese rifle and said aggressively: "Niu Ben, today we will compete in front of the emperor to see who has the best shooting skills."

"Okay, if anyone wins today, I will give him a tricycle." Xiao Ming was busy with government affairs all day long, and now he is also interested in playing.

When the two of them heard this, their eyes suddenly turned green. Although Xiao Ming gave them one bicycle, the tricycle was just made by Qingzhou Machinery Factory.

They had already seen this thing, and the eunuchs in the palace rode this thing outside the palace to purchase what they needed in the palace.

Although they don’t need to ride tricycles to buy things, it’s a shame to use for servants in the mansion. Last time he was the first to get a bicycle, he envied many people.

"This tricycle is mine." Niu Ben took the steel-shell bullet from Song Changping's hand, pulled the gun and exposed the chamber.

After stuffing the bullet in, Niu Ben reset the bolt and aimed at the target two hundred meters away.

"Bang."

In just three seconds of aiming, Niu Ben pulled the trigger.

"Hey, this metal bullet is really powerful." Niu Ben said loudly, "It is obvious that the recoil of the Falcon Rifle is going to be high."

Song Changping explained: "Of course, this bullet contains smokeless gunpowder, and its airtightness is much stronger than that of the Falcon rifle."

Luo Quan said in surprise: "The bullets have hit the mountain."

When he was observing just now, the bullet shot by Niu Ban passed through the target and slammed a burst of smoke and dust on the mountain behind.

"The maximum range of metal bullets used by Han-style rifles is 1,200 meters, and the effective range is 600 meters." Song Changping added again.

"It has indeed made great progress compared to the Falcon rifle." Xiao Ming showed a satisfied look. Judging from the history of the development of firearms, the barrel of the rifle is getting shorter and shorter, and the effective range is getting shorter.

The effective range of many modern guns is only three or four hundred meters, and only in this era when long-range power is lacking, the barrel of a rifle will be so long and powerful.

"It's my turn." Luo Quan looked at the Han-style rifle in his hand with a precious look, looking like he liked it.

Like Niu Ben, he also aimed for three seconds and then pulled the trigger.

Soon, he reported it and Luo Quan lost and ran away.

"Hahaha, Niu was so angry that he had been wearing a hundred steps in the sun. Now he is old and his arm is not strong, but his eyes are not weak." Niu Ben laughed.

Luo Quan was not upset. He said: "If you lose, you will lose. However, this Chinese rifle is really a good thing. If you can equip the army as soon as possible, the British and French would have to cry for their parents."

After pausing, he said to Chen Qi: "This Han-style rifle is powerful. I wonder how this cannon is?"

Chen Qi smiled mysteriously, then walked to a cannon covered with black cloth, pulled the black cloth, and a cannon with silver-white metallic luster appeared in front of everyone.

This cannon looks much different from the traditional front-mounted smoothbore cannon, because the cannon is penetrated from the beginning to the end, and the muzzle can be seen from the buttocks of the cannon. There is a square hole on the left thirty centimeters from the tail of the cannon, and there is also a corresponding square hole on the right, just like a slot.

"How to attack this cannon?" Niu Ben and Luo Quan were stunned.

Chen Qi laughed "hehe" and took out a heavy metal object of square cylinder from the box on one side like a treasure. Half of this metal object is a round hole as big as the diameter of the gun, and half is a metal mirror surface as big as the diameter of the gun. "Your Majesty, two generals, this is the biggest secret of the breech gun. The wedge-type breech latch. As long as the round hole of this breech latch is stuffed into the cannon, you can load the bullet through the through hole. After the loading, the bolt continues to slide to the right, and the metal mirror will seal the bottom of the cannon."

After saying that, he stuffed the bolt in his hand into the cannon. An artillery soldier picked up a conical shell and stuffed it into the cannon, and then stuffed a cylindrical launching medicine into the cannon.

At this time, Chen Qi pushed the exposed bolt in, and the entire artillery was integrated. The artillery then plugged the fire tube into the fire door that had been plugged into the fire rope on the cannon, and connected it with the launching medicine. The other hand was pulling the rope.

"Hori-weeded bolt." Niu Ben and Luo Quan didn't know how to do it, but Xiao Ming was a sensible person.

Chen Qi now uses the typical horizontal wedge-type breech gun in the breech gun. In contemporary times, the famous Krupp cannon was originally used as this kind of breech gun.

Seeing this structure, Xiao Ming felt relieved. Chen Qi's efforts were not in vain after several years. It was said that if he didn't make a sound, he would make a splash, which directly made the artillery reach the same level as the Han-style rifle.

"Come on, let me try it myself." Xiao Ming took the rope pull from the artillery.

The rope was very long. In order to ensure safety, he walked five meters away before pulling the rope.

"boom!"

Under the pulling of the rope, the fire tube exploded in the cannon barrel. The flames instantly ignited the launching medicine and pushed the entire shell out of the cannon chamber.

"Boom", a sound of explosion sounded from a distance, and flames and smoke lit up from the mountains a thousand meters away, and smoke and stone chips flew.

At this moment, the two artillery soldiers immediately stepped forward, one of them pulled the bolt, the other soldier continued to load the projectiles, and ten seconds later another artillery shell was fired.

Within one minute, the artillery fired six shells in a row.

Originally, Niu Ben and Luo Quan wanted to say that the power of shells was similar, but they were shocked at this point and fired six shells in one minute. Now the smoothbore cannon used by the Great Yu Kingdom can only fire one shot in a minute, and the veterans only had two shots.

On the battlefield, long-range firepower is the key to victory, and artillery is also the primary target of local artillery offensives. They are very clear about what changes will this minute of six shots bring to the war.

"Awesome, it's really amazing." Niu Ben looked around the cannons and said, "Your Majesty, I should give this kind of cannon a loud name."

Chen Qi showed an expectant look. Song Changping's rifle was very loud in Han style. I wonder what his cannon should be called?
